Application filed March 26, 1903. Serial No. 149,705. (No model.)

To all whmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, MILO A. ELLIOTT, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVaterville, in the county of Kennebec and State 5 of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Mop-\Vringers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in mop-wringers; and the object of my invention is the provision of a simple, durable, in-

expensive, and practical device adapted to be attached to a bucket or other receptacle and be operated by hand to quickly and perfectly wring the mop.

To attain the object stated, my invention consists of a mop-wringer embodying novel features of construction and combination of parts substantially as disclosed herein.

Figure 1 represents a perspective'view of my mop-wringer applied in position for use, the parts being in the position they assume before the mop is inserted for wringing. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of my mopwringer with the parts inthe position they occupy when wringing the mop, and Fig. 3 represents a vertical central sectional view of the wringer.

In. the drawings the letter A designates the sides of my wringer-frame, which carry the 0 hooks B for securing the device in position,

and the ears 0, the purpose of which will appear, and the sides are connected by the bottom piece 'D, formed with the slot E, and the sides are "connected by the front piece F,

5 formed with openings G, which allow the passage of water, and the front is also formed with a downwardly-projecting extension H and is provided on each side with slots or passages J. To the ears 0 of the frame is piv- 4o oted the inner set of studs K of the cross-piece L, and the outer set of studs K, carried by the heads L of the cross-piece, are connected to the outer ends of the pair of links M, and the studs on one side of one of said heads are 5 connected to the hand operating-lever I. The inner ends of the links are secured to the presser or plunger 0, from which leads through the slot E the lever P, which has its outer end pivoted to the arm Q, secured to the bracket R, which is attached to the extension H on the front of the frame. The presser or plunger, it will be'noted, is also formed with openings or perforations O, which allow the water from the mop to flow through and fall into the bucket or other suitable catch-receptacle.

In operation the device is attached by the hooks to the wringer-receptacle, and the wet mop is placed between the plunger and front of the frame, and the lever is operated to cause the plunger to press firmly upon the mop and remove or wring the water therefrom, the water passing through the perforations of the plunger and front.

It is evident that I provide a strong and durable device, also that it can be produced at a very low price and that it will quickly and perfectly wring the mop.

I claim- 1. A mop-wringer comprising the frame, the plungerpivotally connected to the frame, the cross-piece having a pair of heads provided with studs pivoted to the frame and connected with the plunger, and a lever connected with one pair of the studs for operating the plunger.

2. A mop-wringer comprising a frame having attaching means, a perforated front carried by the frame, a plunger provided with perforations or openings and arranged to move within the frame, a pair of links having their inner ends connected to the plunger, a cross-piece having a pair of heads each formed with inner and outer studs, the outer studs being connected to the outer ends of said links, and the inner studs to the frame, and a hand-lever connected to the studs on one of said heads to operate the plunger.

In testimony whereof I aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses. v

MILO A. ELLIOTT.
